We're only about a month into the season, but Pat Verbeek has to be ecstatic by the way the season has started.  One of his big swings was acquiring Cutter Gauthier after he demanded a trade for Philly, and the start to the season couldn't be going any better.  Gauthier had two assists with six shots on Friday against Detroit before scoring a goal and an assist against the Devils on Sunday.  That brings Gauthier to a preposterous 52 shots on goals in eleven games this season, with seven goals and five assists.  That screams fantasy superstar right now.  I forgot to mention that he's 21 years old as well.  I was a big fan of Carlsson going into this season, as well as McTavish, but I'm upset at myself that I wasn't all in on Gauthier.  I liked him, but he's the exact player type I always want in fantasy.  I'm not sure if he ends as a top 50 fantasy player this season, but it's possible.  If not, it's only a matter of time.  Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
The #1 name on most trade boards has been moved and it's still January!  Razzball favorite Dr. Bo Horvat was shipped to the Islanders on Monday for a top 12 protected 1st round pick in the 2023 draft, Anthony Beauvillier, and Aatu Raty.  With only six total games on the docket this week (four the past two nights), this gives me a chance to do a full breakdown on this trade.  I'm going to look at the move from both sides before making some final conclusions.  Let's get to it!
